Vista ultimate excessive cpu usage

[Broni]

Right click on two svchost.exe entries:
- svchost.exe   900   16.23
- svchost.exe   1288   10.57
(in bold are PID numbers)
Click Properties, then Services tab.

Can you post screenshots for both?

That's fine. 900 process was the main CPU taker. Nothing horrible, but still at 14%.
What do you have connected to your computer, beside monitor, keyboard, and mouse?

[paudashlake]

I have my webcam, speakers, internet(wired)

See, if same thing happens, if you.....

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

okay i did that.  Now what?

[Broni]

Same CPU usage?

[paudashlake]

still 59%

[Broni]

It's even more. Same svchost usage?
I'll be gone for couple of hours.

[paudashlake]

It sems to be the same.  Not runing anything more than I was earlier.


Good night broni.  We will pick this up tomorrow.

[Broni]
